Four CCC students earn IT certifications 

Four students in Coffeyville Community College’s Networking Technology program taught by Jon Duffee recently passed CompTIA certification exams.

Mike Rinkenbaugh passed his CompTIA A+ Software certification exam as part of a self-initiated study regimen started prior to the beginning of school.  Passing this exam completes his A+ certification.

Three additional students passed their CompTIA Network+ certification exams.  Students passing were Tim Denson, Ben Bowles, and Spencer Smith.

Approximately 135,000 professionals worldwide possess Network+ certification.  The skills and knowledge measured by this examination were derived from an industry-wide job task analysis and validated through an industry-wide survey of more than 2,500 participants.

The CompTIA Network+ certification is an international industry credential that validates the knowledge of networking professionals with at least nine months of experience in network support or administration or adequate academic training.

“The students this year have shown the drive and determination to succeed,” said Duffee.  “So far, five students have passed their Network+ exams within five weeks or less of the nine weeks allotted.  I expect we will see many great things this year from this group.”
